I fitted an MGOC system to the roadster 10 years and 25k miles ago, and
another to the V8 5 years and 55k all-weather miles ago. The roadster
fitted right up but the V8 has never been a perfect fit. It also tended to
work its way off the tubular manifold - almost to the point of falling off
one time.
